    After 3 or 4 hours the bark is set on most meat and it won't take on any more smoke. Take a chance at getting that acrid smoke after that

    Mine looks a lot like yours. I did the pork butt above in about 7 hours and it was still going after I pulled the pork.

    Just ordered the Pit Boss Lexington 500. Decided to go with a smaller one as it's just 2 of us here 99% of the time and I don't plan to smoke giant pieces of meat. I grilled on a Pit Boss for 2 years but never got into the smoking aspect of it. Excited to dive in!

    Made sausage patties and biscuits in the Traeger at the same time this morning. Soooo good. I didn't think to take pictures tho. Not a millennial.

    Medium breakfast sausage patties smoked at 185 for 20 minutes.

    Crank the heat.

    Insert Wompem biscuits at 325 for 28 minutes or till golden brown in a #10 cast iron pan.

    *Wompem biscuits are the pre made ones that you peel the wrapper and then wompem on the counter top till the cylinder container pops open. Damn Yankees. *

    Started the ribs at 1030. Used yellow mustard as a binder. Simple rub I made of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and onion powder, and cayenne. Set at 250 for 2 hours.

    Put down some brown sugar, butter, honey, and BBQ sauce on some foil and wrapped them meat side down (put more rub on).

    Letting them cook another hour to 2 before taking out and putting sauce on to cook again.

    Will post the final product when finished. They looked amazing after 2 hours.

    They were cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. Disappointed with the actual ribs themself. I got them frozen from the meat market (roughly $22 a piece). They had fresh ones there for $35 for one rack. These had a lot of cartilage and fat. I thought I trimmed them up pretty good but I guess not. These were St. Louis style.

    Anyone prefer a particular style of rib?

    I did take that off both of them. I must not have trimmed the actual rib good enough. It was strips/chunks of cartilage inside the meat. White in color and not as hard as bone. I’ll try again next time! Loved the recipe and way I cooked them. So dang tasty.

    Making BBQ rib grilled cheese with some of the leftovers today.

    Just trimmed the meat off the rest of the bones. I definitely didn’t trim the ribs good enough. The “cartilage” was actually just thin pieces of the rib bones. Guess I have to look better next time.
